As some of you may know, the new version of After Effects CS5 will be native 64 bit, which offers major speed and memory enhancements (among other things) but 3rd party plug-in developers like Video Copilot, will need to update their code before they will work in 64 bit. But worry not…

When After Effects CS5 ships, (some speculate later this year) Video Copilot is committed to offering free product upgrades to customers on all of our plug-ins. All… TWO of them Twitch & Optical Flares.

I think the move to 64 bit is essential for the future and we want to support it as best we can. Of course we are dedicated to make our products compatible with 32 and 64 bit systems as far back as After Effects 7.

Also, our stock footage and audio products will continue to be compatible with no upgrading required and we will even be updating our free plug-ins like VC Reflect and the new Sure Target 2 when the time comes.

Howdy, Andrew. Is there any chance you can do a quick video later on when AECS5 is published in comparison of speed with both 32bit AECS4 and 64 bit AECS5. If you want you can contact me on my email in the mail box and speek further.

has been a post with the name``15 Companies That Create After Effect Plugins``and one in that company is and VideoCopilot
You Need To Be Glad With That

Hi Andrew,
It's good to hear that Video Copilot will support the 64 bit version of AE with free upgrades of your plug ins for free and not leave us hanging (or should I say Twitching) in the wilderness. Rock On!

What will be the price range? Cause I really want this, but I'm not sure if it'll be affordable. I'm still waiting to save up for the 2k action essentials, upgrading from the 720, which the 720 was actually a good deal. :D

I'd have to say if you have CS3-CS4 and a 64 bit processor, definitely upgrade to CS5. If you have CS3-CS4, or even 7 on a 32 bit then unless you're working for some "major" studio then I don't recommend upgrading.

Well.... when life gives you lemons you make raspberry juice
switch out a few things here and there on my computer and tada 64-bit. Will optical flares run faster on 64-bit.... is it required to switch to 64-bit..... ahh so many questions

Finally! Now I'll be able to utilize all 8 gigs of RAM in my computer not just for After Effects, but also for VIDEO COPILOT! I can't think of anything better. I'm glad I'm a fan of overkill, everyone said I'd never need 8 gigs, well I'll show them!

Somehow, when I read the title of the thread and saw the volumetric-ish lighting in the image, I thought that you had figured out some kind of magical mystery trick combining Twitch, Sure Target, and 64-bit color depth to create an ultra-real twitchy-lighting-plus-fairy-dust-and-unicorns effect.

im guessing mac users will will have the same horrible experience again of no plugins working, like when it all went intel on cs3. now pc users will share it too. good for the future but alot of companies will cash in on it. mfs! optical flares looks powerful. good to see a compositor getting exactly what compositors need, fair play andrew. Do people call you andrew or andy? do your mates have a nickname for you? feels so formal calling you andrew.

Can't wait, hopefully they're working on stability with the 64bit platform. Right now I have the most errors and software crashes with the one piece of the CS4 Master collection that is 64 bit, Photoshop Extended.
